I would have to say Twitter. I have both but I used twitter a few thousand times more than Facebook on any given day.

I love Twitter and it's great to use when you understand how it works. I have written a very good blog post on understanding Twitter TWION Being A Twitter Open Networker on My No Tall Poppies blog. It's being turned into a Twitter Book soon.

I am uncomfortable with Facebook, because if I allow anyone to become a friend or even reply to an invitation declining, all the information of my friends is open to people that they might not know or want to approach them. So, I limit Facebook strictly to my own family and hope like hell that their friends think I am a boring old granny.

Hi Lesley,

You are definitely not just a boring old grandma :) I have been over at the site learning some exellent twitter info! Can you tell me, I have been looking for weeks so that I am not bothering the heck out of people, why my profile constantly repeats the same posts. I have already checked to make sure that it's NOT checked off to update when I am fiddling with the post, I only want it to update when I post a new post at my blog.

Thanks in advance for any advice, I know it bugs me so it has to annoy other people :)

Stef

Julie, go to facebook and delete the last twitter comment and it will give you an option to get permission before it adds a twitter update. HTH

Also torn. I love twitter because it is quick and it is easy to get a large following quickly, however your comments have a shelf life of max 10 mins. Facebook I feel gives more options around a lasting connection and deeper communication. Do like being forced into abbreviated statements. I have linked twitter to facebook to get the benefit of both. However I am trying to sever the link to get a bit more control - but can't remember how I set it up. If anyone knows, please help me!

Facebook - I find it far more personal. Twitter is cool, but very disjointed. That said, I am a newbie and also find Twitter VERY confusing whereas I had FB down the first time I used it!!

Facebook and Twitter are two social media sites that even though they have their similarities, it's still like comparing apples to oranges. I use them both on a daily basis and wouldn't want to be without either.

Gah! I love both for different reasons. Facebook is more for friends and family you have connected with in real life and a great way to connect with old friends. Twitter is a great medium for connecting and having conversations with people who have knowledge to share. You may end up great friends, or you may have a momentary yet meaningful connection. I love them both!

selective twitter lets me do both! I just add #fb to my tweet and it appears on my facebook status updates- so i don't have to choose! check out the app below my latest tweet @serenamom

Both! Facebook has greater capabilities but I post to both simultaneously using TweetDeck.

This is a tough one for me as well. Even though I am brand spankin' new on Twitter ... I have noticed I haven't been on FB since I joined Twitter recently. I like the simplicity of Twitter, I like that you can get on, accomplish something and go about your day .... so if I must choose one ~ today I choose Twitter :)
